TDQS
Scored across 9 tools
The set covers distinct areas but raycast_search and raycast_open overlap in launching commands/extensions, and raycast_system is broad/vague, risking misselection.
All tool names use the raycast_ prefix and snake_case, which is predictable; however, the second token mixes verbs (search, open) and nouns (clipboard, shortcut), a minor inconsistency.
9 tools is well within the ideal range for a platform integration, each covering a distinct Raycast capability without excessive granularity.
The surface covers core Raycast operations (search, open, clipboard, shortcuts, window, system, auth, extensions, workflows) but lacks tools for snippets, AI commands, or notes, which are common Raycast features.
